auxiliary project
Tower sought for new bells
by Jay Stuart Russell
Chiming carillonic bells that
play hymns may be an every day
sound on Bethel's campus within
two years, according to President
Carl Lundquist.
An interview with Lundquist
and his wife Nancy revealed that
the project is being funded by the
Bethel Women's Auxiliary and an
anonymous donor. Mrs. Lund-quist
is a member of the auxiliary.
The system, known as electron-ic
carillon bells, will cost approxi-mately
$13,000, according to Dr.
Lundquist. "The project was be-gun
this fall, and is in the process
of being developed, but we hope
to have it completed in two years,
by the summer of 1981."
Lundquist said that the system
will rest in a metal tower "that will
be erected on Bethel's campus,
probably on a hill." He said it was
too early to pinpoint an exact lo-cation
for the tower.
"The carillon bell system is am-plified,
and is controlled by a tape
and a time clock. The tower won't
have actual bells, except for one
`dummy' bell." Lundquist said
that the bells can ring the hour in
addition to playing tunes and
hymns, and the volume of the
bells can be controlled.
He said that the word "tower"
gives the impression that the struc-ture
will be large and tall, but it
won't be very high or very impos-ing.
"It will probably have two or

three legs, and will be relatively
modest," he added.
The bells will be used in such
settings as outdoor devotional
meetings, dedications and other
types of programs. They may also
be used as a "call to worship"
during chapel times. Mrs. Lund-quist
added that the bells may be
played quite a bit at Christmas,
and during the evenings, "but the
administration will determine the
most effective way to use the
bells."
Mrs. Lundquist said that the
bells will help distinguish Bethel as
a -Christian college, because peo-ple
coming would hear the hymns
being played. She pointed out that
none of Bethel's buildings have
crosses or any other marks distin-guishing
the school as a Christian
college.
The Bethel Women's Auxiliary
got the idea for the project
from a Bethel alumnus who went
to the University of Minnesota.
She said he wanted to donate to
the project, but wished to remain
anonymous.
"He had many good memories
of the carillon bells at the Uni-versity,
and felt that Bethel stu-dents
should have something by
which to remember their school."
Mrs. Lundquist said the auxil-iary's
goal is $5,000 a year for two
years. "We haven't raised any
money as of yet, because we've
just started the project." The Be-thel
Women's Auxiliary raises
money chiefly through offerings.
The auxiliary, which is 65 years
old, was formerly called the
Bethel Women's Federation. She
said the organization has no
membership, and "anyone in-terested
may come to the
meetings." The group is primarily
composed of Twin Cities women
concerned with Bethel, and has
about 200 participants.
Some of the organization's past
projects include purchasing li-brary
books, a van for the Chris-tian
service department, a tractor
for landscape and ground work,
installing a path along the lake
with lights, and installing entrance
signs with lights.
"This is the first year we've
picked a project that involves
something that we could do
without," she said. The group
also helps in mailings and in food
service, and each person involved
in the group prays for three or
four new students throughout the
year.
Mrs. Lundquist emphasized
that the auxiliary does projects for
both the college and seminary.
"We don't have any definite plans
for our future projects, but we try
to do things helpful for the cam-pus."

Seventeen thousand men and
women will leave their Christmas
celebrations December 27th, to
travel by plane, train, bus and car
to a small town south of Chicago.
Approximately 174 of these peo-ple
will be from Bethel.
They will all be attending the
Urbana '79 missionary conference
on the University of Illinois, Ur-bana-
Champaign campus. For
four days, speakers, workshops,
small group Bible studies and dis-cussions
will center on missions in
today's world.
For the past three years, Inter-
Varsity Christian Fellowship has
been planning this conference.
And though SSM, Bethel's chap-ter
of Inter-Varsity, and Curt
Hanson of Campus Ministries
have been working on Urbana '79
and preparing people for it, many

ed away due to lack of space.
"I thought it would be like a
giant high school retreat," said
senior Tannic Woods of Urbana,
`76. "It wasn't anything like
that."
Woods heard about the con-ference
in chapel at Bethel. "My
roommate couldn't go. So, she
paid my way. I was kind of her
missionary to the conference,"
Woods said. She thought her ex-pectations
before Urbana '76 were
limited. "There were so many
things there," Woods said. "It
helped me focus on what courses
to take at Bethel."
Junior Jill Slaikeu traveled for
12 hours in a cold van to get to Ur-bana.
She didn't know what to ex-pect
either. "Halfway there I
thought I'd gotten myself into a
bind," said Slaikeu, chuckling. "A
week of missionary speakers
ahead of me, and I thought
they're usually the most boring."
Instead, Slaikeu decided mis-sionaries
can be exciting speakers.
"It changed my views on missions
and missionaries. These were in-telligent,
college-educated people
going out; not people who
couldn't 'cope'."
The sight of thousands of dedi-cated
Christians also made a big
impact on her. Coming from a
small town, she had never been
with more than 100 Christians at
once.
Laurie Patterson, a senior,
knew what to expect. Her sister
had gone the time before, and told
her what it was like. "I knew I'd
get a challenge," Patterson said.
While the seminary has its own bell tower, the college will soon
have its own carillon bell system (Photo Dan Velie).

Dear Editor:
We are extremely dismayed at
the omission of numerous names
from the new "Happy Birthday
Directory," compliments of Stu-dent
Senate. Of the four ,people
living in our apartment, three
birthdays were not listed.
Upon further examination of
the directory, it has been deter-mined
that this percentage is
representative of much of the stu-dent
body. How can it be that out
of almost 2000 students at Bethel,
approximately 500 were never
born?
We are not upset that no one
will know when our birthdays are,
but rather we are questioning the
need for a directory that is so in-complete.
We are eagerly anticipating the
publication of volume two of the
"Happy Birthday Directory."
Sincerely,
Pamela Bickmore, April 28

Dear Editor,
I am writing in reference to the
letter "Editing of explicits incon-sistent"
in last week's paper.
First of all, I am overwhelmed
by the maturity you displayed in
taking it upon yourselves to "de-cide
for the student body what
they should or shouldn't see" in
viewing "The Other Side of the
Mountain, Part II." I am sure it
was much appreciated.
Let me propose a question:
Should we, as Christians, set our-selves
up so much higher than
others that we find their thoughts
and words "beyond our frame of
reference, so we don't understand
them"?
True, we do have a right, to
stand up for our beliefs and mo-rals.
To put ourselves in such a
position that we have to look
down on what the world does, is
not showing Christian attributes
of love and understanding, but a
sense of haughtiness.
We, as Christians, do have
something great to be thankful for
and something to be proud of.
But let us be careful in how we put
that across to others.
"You younger men, likewise,
be subject to your elders; and all
of you, clothe yourselves with hu-mility
toward one another, for
God is opposed to the proud, but
gives grace to the humble.
Humble yourselves therefore
under the mighty hand of God,
that He may exalt you at the pro-per
time." I Peter 5:5, 6

Column on "Praise"

Dear Editor:
Ted Lewis' column on "Praise"
was outstanding. I can see where
he could think that Dr. Leafblad's
thrust was "Praise God because
of what's in it for me." But I can
assure you that the heart of Leaf-blad's
message is "Praise God for
Who He Is." The benefits to us
are simply "fall out" or residual
in nature. I for one appreciate the
emphasis of Ted's column and
feel it accurately reflects Leaf-
.blad's position.

Liberal arts learning
valued above jobs
Bethel College is a "liberal arts college." Students enroll to get an ed-ucation
in the "liberal arts." Or do they?
The registration catalog defines "liberal arts learning" as a way for
students to "learn about themselves, to appreciate their intellectual and
cultural heritage, to evaluate and understand the world and society in
which they live, to exercise critical judgment, to be intellectually alert,
and to work effectively with other people" (page 2). The purpose of a
liberal arts education is to give the student a solid yet varied background
for "life after college."
Many students come to college with the sole intent of seeking life after
college—of becoming job market material. "How is this major going to
help me find a job after graduation?" "You're a philosophy major?
What are you going to do after you graduate?"
While the business department is growing (it is the largest major at
Bethel), other areas, such as philosophy, history, and foreign language
are hurting for students and majors. Last year, German was in danger
of being dropped as a major.
Now, Bethel is planning to establish a nursing program next fall, and
already in the curriculum is an engineering program in connection with
Washington University in St. Louis. Both new programs are vocation-oriented.
Not that having a vocation after graduation is bad—we all have to
eat. But shouldn't the goal of a liberal arts education be education-ori-ented
rather than vocation-oriented?
In spite of the possibility of a trend toward "vocationalism," Bethel
still requires students to take courses in humanities, natural sciences,
arts and letters and behavioral sciences. Students who are business,
chemistry, or history majors can choose to become liberally educated or
strictly job-oriented, depending on their choices of courses. Let's keep
Bethel a liberal arts college by choosing variety in our education.

Editors plan upgraded 'Coeval'
by J. D. Klaessy
"Coeval is dead. It died a slow
painful death," said Ann Taylor,
fall editor of the publication.
Ann, along with three other stu-dents
who head up the "Coeval"
review committee, decided to take
a different approach to having a
literary publication at Bethel.
Rather than two pages of
mimeographed poems printed
sporadically throughout the se-mester,
the committee hopes to
produce a 40-page magazine of li-terary
and artistic works. "This
would include black and white
sketches, poetry and short
fiction," Ann said.
"This time we want to concen-trate
on good style and content ra-ther
than pleasing the masses,"
Ann explained. "I don't like
poems or short stories that talk
about God or Jesus simply to
make the work acceptable to
Christians. There has to be a stan-dard
of quality no matter who's
writing, Christian or non-Chris-tian,"
said Ann.
The committee intends to im-prove
the magazine's print quality
as well as the material contained

Smells of popcorn will waft no
longer along the halls of Bethel.
The one-month trial period ran
out Tuesday, and the bookstore
decided not to purchase the ma-chine.
"It's been popular and the kids
have liked it, but we would really
in it. The paper will be heavier,
the magazine will have a cover and
illustrations will be included. The
magazine will also have a new
name, which is yet to be an-nounced.
There. is one major impasse in
producing this new magazine:
where will the money come from
to cover publishing costs?
"We hope the senate will give
us the money originally appro-priated
for the Coeval," Ann
said. This year was supposed to be
a year of rest for the publication,
but allocations were still set aside.
The question is, would it be
enough to cover publishing costs?
In the past the co-editors received
a stipend for every issue. This year
everyone is voluntarily working
on their own time, so publication
is the only cost.
Another question that arises is,
what is the relation of this publi-cation
to Passages? "Passages, by
my understanding, is a school
oriented publication. The themes
reyolve around life at Bethel,"
Ann said. "In no way is this li-terary
magazine in competition
need a full-time staff person to
run it, and that's not our most im-portant
function," said Wanda
Nelson, assistant manager.
The B-club, the athletic club
that rims the concession stand at
the football games, bought the
machine to replace the one that
"burns a batch for every one it
makes," said Nelson. The club
paid the bookstore the one-month's
rent which applied to the
purchase price, so the bookstore
lost no money, she said.
Nelson said they decided to try
selling popcorn because other col-lege
bookstores operate that kind
of thing successfully. She said it
was a trick "to get the smell out at
the class break," and cleaning and
setting up took time, "But it was a
good experiment."
This winter the bookstore may
try something else, said Nelson,
"because we get to see a different
side of the kids." A few years ago
the bookstore offered roses every
Friday, and "had no trouble get-ting
rid of them, so we may do
that again."
"It's a matter of what the kids
like," she said.
with Passages. It is a separate kind
of expression," Ann explained.
In the past years there were only
two editors for Coeval. This year
the new publication will have
four: Jan Johnson, art editor, Te-resa
Worrell, prose editor, Judy
Hougen, poetry editor and Ann
Taylor, editor-in-charge. Ann for-merly
worked on the literary
magazine staff at Normandale
Community College. She is pre-sently
the president of the Chris-tian
Writers Fellowship.
"We are making a model for
the future," Ann said about the
new format. "We plan to learn a
lot from the first issue," Ann
said.
"Before, there was only a lean
interest in Coeval, both in readers
and students submitting works.
We need more submissions,
poetry, short fiction (around 600
words) and black and white
sketches. No photographs," Ann
said.
Will you get more student in-volvement
with the new format?
"This is basically a honest effort
being made in the dark," Ann
said. Works can be submitted to
anyone on the staff.

milk as well as cookies, brownies
and sweet rolls. Students appre-ciated
that the Country Store ac-cepted
food and cards during meal
times.
It was created to "bridge the
gap" during construction of the
new coffeehouse, Erickson said.
The food service and administra-tion
decided it had served its pur-pose
and discontinued it this year.
If food service would have kept
the store, they would have redone,
maybe relocated it, said Paul
Drake, director of auxiliary enter-prises.
"It wasn't paying for
tself," said Drake. "It was really
)usy for 1-11/2 hours a day."
"It took up too much space for
the amount of time it was used,"
added Erickson. And traffic vol-ume
increased through the Lemon
Lounge.
An on-campus commisary
where students could buy grocer-ies,
possible with food cards, is
being considered. SpaCe for such a
venture presents the biggest pro-blem.
Erickson said if those kind
of problems can be solved there
will be a commissary.

Spickelmier outlines chapel concerns
The Clarion recently interview-ed
Campus Pastor Jim Spickel-mier
concerning reports that his
office was considering a move for
mandatory chapel. We also talked
to Spickelmier concerning his
roles as Bethel's pastor, as well as
Bethel's physical and spiritual
growth.
The 38-year-old Spickelmier
graduated from Bethel College in
1963 and spent two years in the
Peace Corps in east Africa before
attending seminary. After a five-year
pastorate in Kensington,
Conn., he came to Bethel as cam-pus
pastor in 1975. He is now in
his fifth year at Bethel.
Clarion: Would you like to com-ment
on the recent concern with
chapel attendance?
Spickelmier: Yes, our attendance
has been running below last year's
attendance, not just in percentage
figures, but in actual numbers.
We are below last year's figures,
even though the student body is
larger. And that's a real concern
to us.
I feel Bethel is unique among
Christian colleges in the kind of
chapel program it runs.
Everybody I talked to, when he
hears that we don't take atten-dance
but we have the kind of
numbers we have had, is just flab-bergasted.
And I frankly want to
keep that—I think it's something
not just faculty and administra-tion
want to keep, but that stu-dents
want to keep.
So I do get concerned when I
see not just what would be a nor-mal
kind of drop, but when I see a
consistent drop.
Clarion: Is mandatory chapel a
possibility to correct that? Is it be-ing
considered?
Spickelmier: No. I noticed that
the beef board suggested that we
might be to mandatory chapel. I
very carefully didn't do that.
I don't know what alternatives
might be considered if we can't
make our present policy work. I
would guess the two obvious
alternatives are in existence at
other colleges—there are schools
that don't have a mandatory
chapel but essentially don't have
chapel because it really doesn't get
enough people to affect the the
life of their community.
I'm not sure what would hap-pen
if we lost the tradition that we
have. I do think that one of the
things we have to be aware of in
our community, though, is that
you can't destroy our present
tradition and not have it replaced
with something else.
We keep our present tradition
by high attendance or something
else will result. I'm sure—just lo-gically.
Clarion: Is chapel attendance now
comparable to last year's percen-tage?
Spickelmier: We are almost back
up in terms of raw numbers where
we were last year. But percentage-wisethat
still would be worse, be-cause
of the larger student body.
Clarion: Do you think mandatory
chapel would ever work now that
students have the freedom to
choose?
Spickelmier: I don't like manda-tory
chapel policies. I think, ob-viously
we could put on controls
so that they do work in terms of
getting bodies there. There are all
sorts of ways to coerce people to
be in a place at a time, but the
drawback in mandatory chapels,
as I see it, is that you can get the
people in there but you can't get
them in the right frame of mind.
So I guess, from my standpoint,
I will avoid mandatory chapel at
all costs because I think that it
creates an atmosphere that is not
conducive to worship.
Clarion: About your job, is it gra-tifying
to you?
Spickelmier: Best job in the
school. I have all of the good
things and none of the hassles.
People in the administrative of-fices
other than mine, like the
dean's office, carry a weight of
adminstrative detail. I deal with
significant things, have freedom
and really enjoy it.
Clarion: Do you ever feel any ten-sion
as a liason between admini-stration,
faculty and students?
Spickelmier: I guess I don't feel I
do that job alone, that there are
lots of people in the community
doing it. And there are tensions in
this community between various
positions, administration, faculty,
students and just between indivi-duals.
I think that's a constant
part of this community.
I think that all of us as Chris-tians
are called to be reconcilers.
It's a fun thing, as far as I'm con-cerned,
to help hold people toge-ther
in one body.
Clarion: Another one of your
roles is, that if something's going
wrong and needs correcting, and
if someone has to reprimand the
students, you get that job. How
do Sou view that role?
Spickelmier: I don't know that
I'm the only one that does that,
and I don't do any official disci-pline—
Nettleton's office gets
that. I guess because I'm in a pro-minent
role in terms of being able
to speak to the student body, I
pick up some of that occassion-ally.
The president used to do that
and, as a result, I think his own
image among the student body
was hurt. One of the things we
talked about when I first came
was some way to•protect him from
that.
I'm glad to do it because, so far
at least, I think I've been able to
do it without breaking the trust of
the students.
I think in any community
you've got to occasionally ask the
community to examine its own
life, and I think I know how to do
that in such way that it's not
spanking. I don't like to spank or
scold; I want to call people to be
what we really all want to be.
Clarion: Uas Bethel's recent
growth affected the nature of cha-pel
services?
Spickelmier: I think that as we
grow it becomes harder and hard-er
for us to keep some kind of cen-tral
community expression—small
colleges can do it, it's natural. The
larger a college gets, the more the
tendency to break down into sub-units.
I think that's happened with
our disciplines, for example. I
think that social sciences are more
isolated from the humanities, and
from sciences, than they used to
be, just because they've gotten lar-ger
and they kind of spin off into
their own separate units.
So I do think that as we grow
it's harder and harder for us to all
come together in common, but it's
also more important.
So I see chapel becoming harder
to do, in some ways, but more im-portant
to do, because it's really
the thing that keeps a somewhat
small college united. It keeps it
from splintering off entirely into
separate groups.
Clarion: Has the growth affected
the general level of spiritual ma-turity?
There seems to be a wider
range of students here now.
Spickelmier: I think the wider
range comes from, not the
growth, but from patterns in our
churches. I think our churches are
more diverse and heterogeneous
than they were a few years ago.
But growth does make a differ-ence:
if you've got 10 per cent of
the student body disagreeing with
what you're doing, when I went to
school that was 60 students, now
it is 200 students and that makes a
big difference.
Clarion: In your counseling ex-perience,
what do you see as the
most common problem among
Bethel students?
Spickelmier: There are lots of
them. I guess the ones I'm most
concerned about are the coun-seling
problems that no one pays
any attention to. I am worried
about some of these other areas,
students who flagrantly disobey
our lifestyle, for example, obvious
ly they're in trouble. But I see a lot
of people, who we don't know are
in trouble until it's really
bad—until they're on their way
home.
They're the kids who study
alone, who don't have any
friends, who are quiet, and walk
around here and don't call atten-tion
to themselves, but are being
very isolated. That's a concern of
mine. I want to work with them at
Bethel before they become so
isolated that the only solution for
them is to leave.
Clarion: What can the main-stream
Bethel student do to help?
Spickelmier: I think that if we're
the people we're supposed to be—
sensitive, concerned Christian
people—that we will have our eyes
out not just for the people we en-joy
being with, but the ones that
need help.

grouse hunting and, he added "a
little weightlifting."
One reason he likes Minnesota
is the clean air. "It's so much
nicer than Pasadena, there I had
to run early in the morning before
the smog settled in," Greenlee
said.
Greenlee comes from upper
Michigan, but did all his graduate
work at the Californial Institute
of Technology. He said he was
"more than glad" to be back
north again.
Senate action
KABY allowed to
raise own funds,
tuition bill fails
Last Tuesday the student senate
dispatched with its business in fast
order, taking action on only two
bills. Next week's meeting prom-ises
to provide more action as well
as more discussion.
The senate changed a bill con-cerning
KABY self funding from
new business to old business to fa-cilitate
more immediate action.
The bill allowing KABY to raise
funds for its use, with stipulation
that no events compete with cam-pus
coordinator's activities, pass-ed
nearly unanimously.
The only other action taken was
to defeat a bill recommending a
change in tuition rates for part-time
students. Passage of the bill
would have meant recommending
that per-course tuition be de-creased
to $325. It failed 14-3,
with two abstentions.
A highlight of next week's ses-sion
could be the bill allocating
$500 for publication of the birth-day
and student directories. Some
senators feel they are being forced
to give rubber stamp approval to
the expense.
The money has already been
spent on the books, but the pro-jects
have never been formally ap-proved
by the senate.
Another highlight could be a
bill authorizing research into the
feasibility of implementing a na-tionally-
based food service in
place of Bethel's food service. The
special projects committee would
research the cost and efficiency of
the SAGA corporation.

When asked if he had any

Slobs wallow in filth,
collect "gross" stories
A roommate stands over me holding a yellow sponge threateningly.
"It's your Christian responsibility to clean that bathroom."
I am indignant. I distinctly remember giving it a good scrubbing less
than a semester ago.
She badgers me persistently, her face a faint green.
"It's disgusting in there!"
"Really?" I peer at her, disinterested. "I didn't notice."
Her voice escalates hysterically. "There's a cactus growing in the
medicine cabinet !"
"I know that," I return irritably. "I planted it."
"What about the dandelions? And the water lily by the sink?"
Once again, hang-dog looks and threats of of indescribeable torture
coerce me into performing that most hated of all rituals, the bi-yearly
apartment cleaning. Lysol fumes waft soothingly through the apart-ment.
For a short, utopic period we delude ourselves into believing
we're not part of the overwhelming number who are transformed into
blatant slobhood the instant their names are signed to campus housing
forms.
Chances are, you are a closet slob. College does that to even fas-tidious
types. Ex-high schoolers who, only a few short months ago,
never dreamed of using a kleenex twice and who always felt queasy
opening envelopes someone else had licked suddenly have no qualms
about drinking from mugs that haven't had contact with dish soap since
1976.
There's something mystical about sloppiness. There's prestige involv-ed
in being able to say jovially, "See that apple core? I bet it's been
there three weeks." The male slob, especially, enjoys his reputation for
filthiness. It has become socially acceptable for him to invite his date
over for an evening of revolting stories about what is growing in the
bathroom or crawling out of the garbage disposal. His female listener,
though also a member of the slob sect, squeals occasionally and ex-claims
with feeling, "Oh, gross!," "You're kidding!," and "I'm going
to be sick."
Even if you won't admit that you are a slob, you most certainly will
say your roommate is. Everyone's roommate is filthy. Thank goodness.
If this weren't so, we'd have no one on which to blame the deplorable
state of the townhouse living room when our parent's oldest friends
"drop by" unexpectedly: "Sorry about the mess. My roommate's been
cramming for a mid-term and had to let the place go for a while."
The attraction to dirtiness affects evert the off-campus dwellers.
Wherever apartment residents congregate, conversation inevitably drifts
to "How dirty is your apartment?" or "My roommates are lazier than
yours." Dialogues are intense, highly competitive, and painfully ex-plicit.
Wallet size, color snapshots are considered useful pieces of
evidence in these serious debates.
Everyone's insects are bigger, uglier, and more aggressive. My next
door neighbor's spiders leaped from the ceiling onto vulnerable human
flesh. My quick-thinking roommate squelched his story's impressiveness
by countering. that our spiders were raising legionous litters and had
already conquered two bedrooms, the utility closet, and the vegetable
bin in the refrigerator.
Despite the potential of kitchen and bedroom vulgarity, the bathroom
remains the favorite setting for everyone's gross stories. No bathroom
tale is unbelievable.
Last year an unidentifiable algae-like organism won a year-long battle
with our ceramic tile after building an immunity to Mr. Clean and par-ing
knives. The lot of us took brief, nervous showers crouched—fully
clOthed—between the wall and the infected shower curtain. We pulled
sterilized plastic bags over our feet and hopped across the gritty floor.
For an entire school year we dressed, dripping, in the hallway, and
brushed our teeth in the neighbor's bathroom.
This is nothing compared with common tales of ferocious cock-roaches,
scattered toenail clippings, tottering piles of scorched pots,
schools of silverfish, and rotting chicken skins.
Despite the prevalence of these atrocities, however, we can state
honestly that our aversions to "cleaning up" have worked wonders for
our academic standings. Conscience-free we gather up mountainous
loads of text books and head for another intensive library study session.
Anything to avoid the vacuum cleaner.

physics department this year, Dr.

he is genuinely excited about

"I'm excited because I get to

to pursue in graduate school, but
never could," Greenlee explained.

Oak Room offers pleasant break
by Susan Peterson .
Are you looking for a change of
pace? No energy to cook? No sto-mach
for the cafeteria? Take a
break and have dinner at the Oak
Room, Bethel's student-run res-taurant.
By day, it may be "the Coffee
Shop," but from 4:30 to 6:30
every Thursday evening, a re-markable
transformation takes
place. The lights are dimmed, can-dles
lit, tablecloths put on, sil-verware•
set and The Oak Room is
open for business. The atmos-phere
is very relaxed with enter-tainment
often provided by Bethel
students.
Senior Rick Knopf is student
manager and is reponsible for
many of the changes which have
taken place since last year.
Besides moving from the "Roy-al
Oak Room" to the coffee shop,
much of the formality is gone.
Waiters and waitresses dress nicely
but no uniforms are used. "The
pretentious atmosphere of last
year's Royal Oak Room just
doesn't work in the coffee shop
setting," Knopf said.
Knopf wants The Oak Room to
be a place where "students can
come in, sit down, not feel rushed
and get a good meal."
A new menu is the best reason
to dine in The Oak Room. Prices
are very reasonable, portions are
large and the service is good and
fast.
The salad bar alone is • worth
coming for. The variety of fruits,
meats and cheese along with re-lishes
and greens make it a full
meal in itself. A warm loaf of
homemade bread complements
every dinner.
The dessert bar, a new addition
this year, is an excellent finish to a
delicious meal. The ice cream (6
flavors) and the toppings are pro-vided,
but you create the master-piece.
A large staff of students are in-volved
in preparing the food,
washing dishes, and waiting on
tables. As a subsidiary of the food
service, The Oak Room pays for
itself. Any profits are channeled
back into the restaurant.
Reservations are taken earlier in
the food card office, and on
Thursday evening it's first come/
first serve as space is available.
The Oak Room is a quality al-ternative
to the cafeteria which
should be welcomed heartily and
frequented often by students.
"FERP" weekend is underway!
"FERP" stands for "Female Eco-nomic
Recovery Program!" So,
Guys, it's your turn to make a real
effort to take a girl out!
Friday evening, we'll all go roll-erskating
after the hockey game
and skate from midnight until 2
a.m. The cost will be $1.50. Buses
will leave at the regular time from
the same places.
Saturday evening will bring the
first big concert of year to be on
campus. Kathie Lee Johnson, the
lovely, exuberant, and multi-talented
singer TV star from
"Name That -Tune," who has
worked with Jimmy Stewart and
Rich Little, will be performing af-ter
the lead-on performer, Greg
Shideler.
Greg is a hilarious, incredible
sound impressionist who has
worked with such famed people as.
Bob Hope, Paul Lynde, Johnny
Carson, Mike Douglas, Phyllis
Diller, and many more. Both ar-tists
are excellent, outstanding
performers, and they will put on a
show you won't forget.
Tickets are only $3.00 per per-son
if you buy them in advance.
Tickets will be $3.50 at the door.
It will be a great concert! Don't
miss it!
Keep in mind that next Thurs-day
evening, Nov. 15, we will
be sponsoring a benefit concert to
be held at Bethel's Old Campus
gym as 7:30 p.m.
Performing from 7:30-8:15
p.m. will be "Nehemiah." From
8:30-9:30 a.m., the group "Son-fire,"
will perform for the simple
reason of raising money for
KABY transmitters. A freewill of-fering
will be taken, and albums
will be given away. The emcee for
the evening will be the well-known
staff member at WCCO-FM,
Steve Johnson.
We hope that you had a real
special Nik Dag weekend. We
enjoyed putting it together for
you! We hope and pray that this
weekend will include good times,
along with some spare time in
which you can rest up so that you
have a really great week next
week!

Cooper plays as triple-teamed target
by Greg Kuntz
One of the assets any football
team can have is someone who can
catch, run, and score with the
football, and give a little more.
Among the many good receivers
the Royals have this season is Ken
Cooper, who in his first season in
a Royals uniform leads his club in
the pass receiving role.
Cooper, (#83), is a lanky 6'2",
180 lb. sophomore from the nor-thwest
Chicago suburb of Rolling
Meadows. To date, Cooper has
compiled 37 receptions for 674
yards and five T.D.'s, leading the
conference in receiving since the
second week of the season.
His best single game perfor-mance
was at St. John's, where he
grabbed four passes for 151 yards
and scored three T.D.'s. One pass
play of 89 yards set a new team re-cord.
He's been a favorite target
of Royal quarterback Jim Ander-strom.
Since the St. John's game,
Cooper has been often double,
even triple teamed, by opponents.
"Other teams are more conscious
of him," said wide receiver coach
Mark Rappinchuk.
Besides playing junior league
football for three years, and high
school ball for four years, Cooper
assisted his former high school
coach, Bruce Bazsali, last summer
coaching wide receivers.
"I discovered I enjoyed football
enough to concentrate on it," he
said.
Cooper is a physical education
(non-teaching) major, with busi-ness
and psychology minors. He

The Royal's volleyball team
missed the state playoffs Saturday
by three points.
Sixteen teams competed in Divi-sion
Three. They were split into
groups of four with each team
playing the other three. Then the
top two teams in each group
entered the action again on Satur-day
to determine the champion.
"I was satisfied with their play
overall because they were more
unified and consistent," said Nan-cy
Dubert, manager. Those teams
in Bethel's group were the College
of St. Catherine, U of M Morris
and Concordia of St. Paul.
The Royals were up against the
program at Bethel, by helping to
recruit and by working with other
wide receivers.
He attended Western Illinois
University for one year before
coming to Bethel, but didn't play
there.
"I didn't feel college football
was in God's plan for my life at
that time so I concentrated on
school," he said.
Cooper visited Bethel in the spr-ing
and was very impressed. Even
though he was ineligible to play
his first year at Bethel, he attend-ed
pre-season camp and worked
out with the team all year.
"I got hungry for the 1979 sea-son,"
he said.
The Royals have changed to the
"I" formation from the former
veer and option offense which had
labeled the Royals as a running
team. They have passed more this
year to balance with their running
game, to face the tougher MIAC
conference with more flexibility.
This is the Royals' second sea-son
in straight MIAC competi-tion.
U of M Morris in the first match.
The team lost 12-15 and 8-15.
"We either did really well or had
streaks of problems. We were
slow on free-ball coverage so Mor-ris'
slower balls made it hard,"
said Coach Karyl Frye. "We were
prepared but didn't carry through
as well as we had hoped," she ad-ded.
"Sheryl Meyer, Debbie Olmath
and JoAnne Griffin really gave
100 per cent in that match," she
added.
"The second match was against
St. Kate's who eventually took
first in the state tournament.
Bethel lost 12-15 and 6-15. Tami
Miller did well in her passing,
Griffin did a good job of spiking
You don't come into the MIAC
after competing in the Tri-State
conference and expect big things
right away," Cooper said.
Cooper compared his personal
goals to the team goals by saying
he would like to have a winning
season and be in the top three
teams in the standings by his
senior year.
He said, "This is realistic, with
good recruiting."
He would like to continue being
the leading receiver in the con-ference,
the state, and eventually
among the leaders in the nation.
"Without the pass blocking by
the offensive line, we wouldn't
have the success we do at
passing," he said.
Cooper likes to set up defenders
for the long play by catching short
ones first on the curl and go pat-tern.
"No matter what you do as an
individual, you need the other
players," Cooper said. "And my
parents have been encouraging me
and are behind me 100 per cent."
Head coach Chub Reynolds
said, "He hustles all the time. I
saw it in him last year when he
worked out with us."
"Chub goes out of his way to
help the players. He's sensitive to
their needs," said Cooper.
Cooper attributes his success to
the Lord. "I wouldn't be able to
accomplish the things I have with-out
the talents and abilities the
Lord has given me. So I want to
praise him whether the results are
good or bad. I look forward to
two more years at Bethel."
and Lori Olsen did well with
spikes and digs," said Frye.
"Olmath and Denise Nygren
played well overall too," she con-tinued-.
"The main problem was
blocking. We didn't hit as well as
we could have."
Coach Frye was pleased with
the victory over Concordia
because of a loss to them earlier in
the season. Frye noted Merry
Olmstead, Sonya Olsen, Joy
Sorenson and Gracia Dahlgren' as
playing especially well.
Griffin, ranked fourteenth, was
two places away from being an all-star
on the list of division players.
According to Frye, she played well
in all three matches with her spik-ing.

Three touchdowns in the first
eight minutes of play allowed St.
Olaf to take a commanding lead
and the Oles went on to defeat
Bethel 34-7 in MIAC football ac-tion
last Saturday.
The Royals (2-7) dropped their
sixth in a row as St. Olaf amassed
510 total yards, 400 of those on
the ground. St. Olaf now stands at
5-2 and still with a chance for a tie
for the title:
Bethel's only TD came in the
fourth quarter on a 71-yard pass
play from Lonnie Holmgren to
wide receiver Frank Sanza. But at
that point St. Olaf had finished its
scoring. Bethel immediately tried
an onside kick but the Oles re-covered.
On the first series of play St.
Olaf took the lead for good, driv-ing
78 yards in 9 plays with Paul
Estenson doing most the running.
From the Bethel 25, Estenson
found a hole up the middle and
rambled for the TD. After a Royal
fumble gave the Oles the ball at
the Bethel 41, they scored again. -
Estenson set up the TD with a
29-yard run before scoring from
the 4.
Again the Royalscoughed up the
ball, this time at their own 16.
Five plays later Estenson again did
the damage, plunging over from
the one. The score stood at 21-0
and Bethel was in a hole from
which they never got out.
St. Olaf added a TD in the sec-ond
quarter and again in the
fourth quarter (right before Bethel
scored).
On the day, Estenson rushed
for 173 yards on 23 carries. Holm-gren,
replacing Jim Anderstrom,
also had a good day, throwing for
114 yards.
A number of Bethel players still
rank among the MIAC leaders.
Going into the game, Rich Graves
was first in kickoff returns while
Ken Cooper ranks first in pass
receiving. Anderstrom was listed
third in passing and total offense,
Jeff Wilson was fourth in pun-ting,
and Randy Fredin was fifth
in interceptions.

Hockey team looks to tough season
by Ken Wanovich
The Bethel hockey team will
start this season as a full-fledged
member of the Minnesota Inter-collegiate
Athletic Conference for
the first time.
"The MIAC is the toughest
small-college hockey conference
in the country," said Bethel
Coach Dave Harris. "The top
teams in the MIAC could win
their share of games in the Wes-tern
Collegiate Hockey Associa-tion.
It is a very competitive con-ference."
Bethel had a hockey club on
and off since the early 60's. They
played other college club teams.
Last year, hockey was made into a
varsity sport but did not have a
complete MIAC schedule. Many
teams had previous commitments
to non-conference teams and
could not schedule a game with
Bethel. This year the team plays a
complete MIAC schedule with 27
games.
Coach Harris played collegiate
hockey at Augsburg, and helped
start its program in 1954. He grad-uated
from Augsburg in 1957, and
has been playing in amateur
leagues and coaching junior
leagues for 15 years.
"Jim Bragg and I went to
school together," said Harris.
"Three years ago Bethel asked me
to come and help build hockey in-to
a varsity program." Harris is
vice president of Chroma-Glo, a
company that designs and man-ufactures
product identification.
Although his coaching requires
500 hours for the season, Harris
doesn't view it as a job. "I'm a
businessman; I've been able to
find extra time, and I enjoy doing
it," said Harris.
Last year's team compiled a

The Bethel soccer season ended
abruptly last Saturday as St.
John's defeated the Royals 3-1 in
the first round of the playoffs.
The Royals finished the year
5-8-1 (5-6-1 in conference) and en-tered
the playoffs for the first time
in the three years Bethel has been
in the MIAC.
St. John's, 9-0-3 in MIAC play,
record of 5 wins and 20 losses.
"It was obvious to those who
followed Bethel hockey last year
that the team made substantial im-provement
as the season progress-ed,"
said Harris. "We lost to St.
Olaf 12-0 the first game and came
back to beat them 6-5 the second
game. We lost to St. Mary's 12-3
the first game and came back to
beat them the second game 7-3."
"There was a world of dif-ference
in our caliber and ability
to play in the second half of our
season," said Harris. "Part of
our improvement was due to the
addition of four transfer students
who did not become eligible until
the end of the first semester. The
eligibility rule states that you must
be a full-time student in residence
16 weeks to participate in sports.
We also improved through the
experience gained from playing
together."
"There is no question in my
mind we are going to be a better
team this year," said Harris. "We
have a nucleus of men coming
back whom we will be counting
on.
"Tom Correll, all-conference
forward, led the conference last
year in scoring with 33 points," he
said. "Dave Johnson, all-confer-ence
honorable mention center,
scored 23 points last year. Other
returning forwards include Mike
Jackson, Steve Kettelkamp,
Chuck Engberg, Tomm Berquist
and Scott Feltman."
"Along with last year's transfer
students Randy Fiks, Alan Erick-son,
and freshman Kevin Hadlich,
the Royals should have a strong
offensive attack," said Harris.
"We have only one returning let-terman
on defense, Scott
Johnson. Defenseman Gary Shi-browski,
a transfer student from
jumped to a 2-0 lead in the first
half. A defensive error allowed a
Johnnie to come in on goal alone.
As goalie Jeff Beckman came out
to meet him, the Johnnie shot,
hitting the crossbar. Another St.
John's player knocked in the re-bound
for the goal.
A few minutes later, the John-nies
scored again, this time on a
well-placed shot fr om close range.
UMD, will be eligible after the
first semester.
"The three top teams in the
MIAC ought to be Augsburg,
Concordia and Gustavus, but not
necessarily in that order," said
Harris. "These schools put a
strong emphasis on hockey.
"The success of our season this
year will be determined in part by
how successful we are in develop-ing
a strong defense and consis-tent
goal tending."
Correll said, "This year I think
Bethel will definitely be a conten-der
for the playoffs. Through the
recruiting efforts of our coaches,
we've gained a lot more depth. We
will be more intimidating physi-cally,
and in our playing ability.
The best hockey in the country is
found in Minnesota, and soon Be-thel
will be known for its hockey
program."
Bethel does not budget any
But the second half was a dif-ferent
story. Bethel took the play
to St. John's, finally breaking the
shutout midway through the half.
Neil Kaiser fed Mark Johnson,
who was sprinting between two
defenders. As the goalie came out,
Johnson slid the ball by him.
Beckman then made the play of
the game to keep the Royals in the

for the hockey team. The
team raises its own money.
"This year's budget is about
$16,000," said Harris. "We have
been raising money by selling sea-son
tickets. There is also a booster
group for hockey consisting of
students, alumni and others who
support hockey. Players also pay
$25 each which goes into an equip-ment
fund. We were able to secure
uniforms the first year very rea-sonably
from a World Hockey
Association team that
disbanded."
"Players furnish their own
equipment, including sticks," said
Harris. "We are trying to set up a
stick program this year where
players can buy sticks at a reduced
cost. Some guys went through
three dozen sticks last year at
seven dollars apiece. That is over
$200 in sticks alone to play
hockey."

The results of the regional
cross-country meet, held last
weekend at Iowa State University,
are an indication of the strength
of the MIAC teams against which
Bethel has competed throughout
the year.
Division 3 MIAC schools took
five out of the top eight team posi-tions
out of sixteen teams from
around the seven-state region. St.
Olaf was narrowly edged out of
first place by Central College of
Iowa, and St. Thomas finished
third. Carleton, Concordia-blank,
Beckman dove to his right,,
stretching full-length, snatched
the ball out of midair, and pinned
it to the ground.
But St. John's iced it away in
the closing minutes with a shot
from a tight angle.
For the season, the leading
scorer was Jon Fredrickson with
sevengoals. Johnson added five
goals while Doug Hage had four.
This year, all Home games are at
8 p.m. at Columbia Arena, which
is about 15 minutes from Bethel
on north University Avenue. "It is
one of the nicest facilities in the
metropolitan area," said Harris.
Free bus transportation is pro-vided
to and from home games.
Buses leave at 7:30 p.m. from the
east gymnasium doors, and return
immediately after the game.
"The team plays and performs
better if there is somebody in the
audience cheering for them," said
Harris.
Season tickets are $10, a 20 per
cent savings on gate prices, and
can be ordered from hockey
players, or the athletic office.
Students can complete an order
form and their accounts are billed
for the $10. Season tickets will be
delivered to the P.O.s by
November 15, 1979.
"These finishes speak well of
the kind of competition we run
against during the season," said
Coach Shirley Dawson. "And the
times of our division (small pri-vate
schools) are similar to the
times of the division two state
schools. There is no drop-off of
quality in our division."
Wendy Norberg led the Bethel
harriers by finishing 27th of 69
runners at 19:59. The winning
mark was set by Beth Stronge of
St. Olaf at 18:03.
"Wendy ran one of her better
races ever," said Dawson, "and
this is a very difficult course with
close to a mile-and-a-half of hills."
Ellie Abbott placed 48th at
21:23, and Brenda Harris finished
55th with a time of 22:13.
"This is the second time we've
competed in this meet, and there
was a great improvement in atti-tude
and mental preparation, as
compared to last year," said Daw-son.

the season is the state meet tomor-row

course.

auxiliary project
Tower sought for new bells
by Jay Stuart Russell
Chiming carillonic bells that
play hymns may be an every day
sound on Bethel's campus within
two years, according to President
Carl Lundquist.
An interview with Lundquist
and his wife Nancy revealed that
the project is being funded by the
Bethel Women's Auxiliary and an
anonymous donor. Mrs. Lund-quist
is a member of the auxiliary.
The system, known as electron-ic
carillon bells, will cost approxi-mately
$13,000, according to Dr.
Lundquist. "The project was be-gun
this fall, and is in the process
of being developed, but we hope
to have it completed in two years,
by the summer of 1981."
Lundquist said that the system
will rest in a metal tower "that will
be erected on Bethel's campus,
probably on a hill." He said it was
too early to pinpoint an exact lo-cation
for the tower.
"The carillon bell system is am-plified,
and is controlled by a tape
and a time clock. The tower won't
have actual bells, except for one
`dummy' bell." Lundquist said
that the bells can ring the hour in
addition to playing tunes and
hymns, and the volume of the
bells can be controlled.
He said that the word "tower"
gives the impression that the struc-ture
will be large and tall, but it
won't be very high or very impos-ing.
"It will probably have two or

fame, will perform at Bethel
gym.
three legs, and will be relatively
modest," he added.
The bells will be used in such
settings as outdoor devotional
meetings, dedications and other
types of programs. They may also
be used as a "call to worship"
during chapel times. Mrs. Lund-quist
added that the bells may be
played quite a bit at Christmas,
and during the evenings, "but the
administration will determine the
most effective way to use the
bells."
Mrs. Lundquist said that the
bells will help distinguish Bethel as
a -Christian college, because peo-ple
coming would hear the hymns
being played. She pointed out that
none of Bethel's buildings have
crosses or any other marks distin-guishing
the school as a Christian
college.
The Bethel Women's Auxiliary
got the idea for the project
from a Bethel alumnus who went
to the University of Minnesota.
She said he wanted to donate to
the project, but wished to remain
anonymous.
"He had many good memories
of the carillon bells at the Uni-versity,
and felt that Bethel stu-dents
should have something by
which to remember their school."
Mrs. Lundquist said the auxil-iary's
goal is $5,000 a year for two
years. "We haven't raised any
money as of yet, because we've
just started the project." The Be-thel
Women's Auxiliary raises
money chiefly through offerings.
The auxiliary, which is 65 years
old, was formerly called the
Bethel Women's Federation. She
said the organization has no
membership, and "anyone in-terested
may come to the
meetings." The group is primarily
composed of Twin Cities women
concerned with Bethel, and has
about 200 participants.
Some of the organization's past
projects include purchasing li-brary
books, a van for the Chris-tian
service department, a tractor
for landscape and ground work,
installing a path along the lake
with lights, and installing entrance
signs with lights.
"This is the first year we've
picked a project that involves
something that we could do
without," she said. The group
also helps in mailings and in food
service, and each person involved
in the group prays for three or
four new students throughout the
year.
Mrs. Lundquist emphasized
that the auxiliary does projects for
both the college and seminary.
"We don't have any definite plans
for our future projects, but we try
to do things helpful for the cam-pus."

Seventeen thousand men and
women will leave their Christmas

Approximately 174 of these peo-ple

They will all be attending the
Urbana '79 missionary conference
on the University of Illinois, Ur-bana-

four days, speakers, workshops,
small group Bible studies and dis-cussions
will center on missions in

For the past three years, Inter-
Varsity Christian Fellowship has
been planning this conference.
And though SSM, Bethel's chap-ter

ed away due to lack of space.
"I thought it would be like a
giant high school retreat," said
senior Tannic Woods of Urbana,
`76. "It wasn't anything like
that."
Woods heard about the con-ference
in chapel at Bethel. "My
roommate couldn't go. So, she
paid my way. I was kind of her
missionary to the conference,"
Woods said. She thought her ex-pectations
before Urbana '76 were
limited. "There were so many
things there," Woods said. "It
helped me focus on what courses
to take at Bethel."
Junior Jill Slaikeu traveled for
12 hours in a cold van to get to Ur-bana.
She didn't know what to ex-pect
either. "Halfway there I
thought I'd gotten myself into a
bind," said Slaikeu, chuckling. "A
week of missionary speakers
ahead of me, and I thought
they're usually the most boring."
Instead, Slaikeu decided mis-sionaries
can be exciting speakers.
"It changed my views on missions
and missionaries. These were in-telligent,
college-educated people
going out; not people who
couldn't 'cope'."
The sight of thousands of dedi-cated
Christians also made a big
impact on her. Coming from a
small town, she had never been
with more than 100 Christians at
once.
Laurie Patterson, a senior,
knew what to expect. Her sister
had gone the time before, and told
her what it was like. "I knew I'd
get a challenge," Patterson said.
While the seminary has its own bell tower, the college will soon
have its own carillon bell system (Photo Dan Velie).

Dear Editor:
We are extremely dismayed at
the omission of numerous names
from the new "Happy Birthday
Directory," compliments of Stu-dent
Senate. Of the four ,people
living in our apartment, three
birthdays were not listed.
Upon further examination of
the directory, it has been deter-mined
that this percentage is
representative of much of the stu-dent
body. How can it be that out
of almost 2000 students at Bethel,
approximately 500 were never
born?
We are not upset that no one
will know when our birthdays are,
but rather we are questioning the
need for a directory that is so in-complete.
We are eagerly anticipating the
publication of volume two of the
"Happy Birthday Directory."
Sincerely,
Pamela Bickmore, April 28
Janelle Black, January 23
Dear Editor,
I am writing in reference to the
letter "Editing of explicits incon-sistent"
in last week's paper.
First of all, I am overwhelmed
by the maturity you displayed in
taking it upon yourselves to "de-cide
for the student body what
they should or shouldn't see" in
viewing "The Other Side of the
Mountain, Part II." I am sure it
was much appreciated.
Let me propose a question:
Should we, as Christians, set our-selves
up so much higher than
others that we find their thoughts
and words "beyond our frame of
reference, so we don't understand
them"?
True, we do have a right, to
stand up for our beliefs and mo-rals.
To put ourselves in such a
position that we have to look
down on what the world does, is
not showing Christian attributes
of love and understanding, but a
sense of haughtiness.
We, as Christians, do have
something great to be thankful for
and something to be proud of.
But let us be careful in how we put
that across to others.
"You younger men, likewise,
be subject to your elders; and all
of you, clothe yourselves with hu-mility
toward one another, for
God is opposed to the proud, but
gives grace to the humble.
Humble yourselves therefore
under the mighty hand of God,
that He may exalt you at the pro-per
time." I Peter 5:5, 6

Column on "Praise"

Dear Editor:
Ted Lewis' column on "Praise"
was outstanding. I can see where
he could think that Dr. Leafblad's
thrust was "Praise God because
of what's in it for me." But I can
assure you that the heart of Leaf-blad's
message is "Praise God for
Who He Is." The benefits to us
are simply "fall out" or residual
in nature. I for one appreciate the
emphasis of Ted's column and
feel it accurately reflects Leaf-
.blad's position.

Liberal arts learning
valued above jobs
Bethel College is a "liberal arts college." Students enroll to get an ed-ucation
in the "liberal arts." Or do they?
The registration catalog defines "liberal arts learning" as a way for
students to "learn about themselves, to appreciate their intellectual and
cultural heritage, to evaluate and understand the world and society in
which they live, to exercise critical judgment, to be intellectually alert,
and to work effectively with other people" (page 2). The purpose of a
liberal arts education is to give the student a solid yet varied background
for "life after college."
Many students come to college with the sole intent of seeking life after
college—of becoming job market material. "How is this major going to
help me find a job after graduation?" "You're a philosophy major?
What are you going to do after you graduate?"
While the business department is growing (it is the largest major at
Bethel), other areas, such as philosophy, history, and foreign language
are hurting for students and majors. Last year, German was in danger
of being dropped as a major.
Now, Bethel is planning to establish a nursing program next fall, and
already in the curriculum is an engineering program in connection with
Washington University in St. Louis. Both new programs are vocation-oriented.
Not that having a vocation after graduation is bad—we all have to
eat. But shouldn't the goal of a liberal arts education be education-ori-ented
rather than vocation-oriented?
In spite of the possibility of a trend toward "vocationalism," Bethel
still requires students to take courses in humanities, natural sciences,
arts and letters and behavioral sciences. Students who are business,
chemistry, or history majors can choose to become liberally educated or
strictly job-oriented, depending on their choices of courses. Let's keep
Bethel a liberal arts college by choosing variety in our education.

Editors plan upgraded 'Coeval'
by J. D. Klaessy
"Coeval is dead. It died a slow
painful death," said Ann Taylor,
fall editor of the publication.
Ann, along with three other stu-dents
who head up the "Coeval"
review committee, decided to take
a different approach to having a
literary publication at Bethel.
Rather than two pages of
mimeographed poems printed
sporadically throughout the se-mester,
the committee hopes to
produce a 40-page magazine of li-terary
and artistic works. "This
would include black and white
sketches, poetry and short
fiction," Ann said.
"This time we want to concen-trate
on good style and content ra-ther
than pleasing the masses,"
Ann explained. "I don't like
poems or short stories that talk
about God or Jesus simply to
make the work acceptable to
Christians. There has to be a stan-dard
of quality no matter who's
writing, Christian or non-Chris-tian,"
said Ann.
The committee intends to im-prove
the magazine's print quality
as well as the material contained
by Mari Broman
Smells of popcorn will waft no
longer along the halls of Bethel.
The one-month trial period ran
out Tuesday, and the bookstore
decided not to purchase the ma-chine.
"It's been popular and the kids
have liked it, but we would really
in it. The paper will be heavier,
the magazine will have a cover and
illustrations will be included. The
magazine will also have a new
name, which is yet to be an-nounced.
There. is one major impasse in
producing this new magazine:
where will the money come from
to cover publishing costs?
"We hope the senate will give
us the money originally appro-priated
for the Coeval," Ann
said. This year was supposed to be
a year of rest for the publication,
but allocations were still set aside.
The question is, would it be
enough to cover publishing costs?
In the past the co-editors received
a stipend for every issue. This year
everyone is voluntarily working
on their own time, so publication
is the only cost.
Another question that arises is,
what is the relation of this publi-cation
to Passages? "Passages, by
my understanding, is a school
oriented publication. The themes
reyolve around life at Bethel,"
Ann said. "In no way is this li-terary
magazine in competition
need a full-time staff person to
run it, and that's not our most im-portant
function," said Wanda
Nelson, assistant manager.
The B-club, the athletic club
that rims the concession stand at
the football games, bought the
machine to replace the one that
"burns a batch for every one it
makes," said Nelson. The club
paid the bookstore the one-month's
rent which applied to the
purchase price, so the bookstore
lost no money, she said.
Nelson said they decided to try
selling popcorn because other col-lege
bookstores operate that kind
of thing successfully. She said it
was a trick "to get the smell out at
the class break," and cleaning and
setting up took time, "But it was a
good experiment."
This winter the bookstore may
try something else, said Nelson,
"because we get to see a different
side of the kids." A few years ago
the bookstore offered roses every
Friday, and "had no trouble get-ting
rid of them, so we may do
that again."
"It's a matter of what the kids
like," she said.
with Passages. It is a separate kind
of expression," Ann explained.
In the past years there were only
two editors for Coeval. This year
the new publication will have
four: Jan Johnson, art editor, Te-resa
Worrell, prose editor, Judy
Hougen, poetry editor and Ann
Taylor, editor-in-charge. Ann for-merly
worked on the literary
magazine staff at Normandale
Community College. She is pre-sently
the president of the Chris-tian
Writers Fellowship.
"We are making a model for
the future," Ann said about the
new format. "We plan to learn a
lot from the first issue," Ann
said.
"Before, there was only a lean
interest in Coeval, both in readers
and students submitting works.
We need more submissions,
poetry, short fiction (around 600
words) and black and white
sketches. No photographs," Ann
said.
Will you get more student in-volvement
with the new format?
"This is basically a honest effort
being made in the dark," Ann
said. Works can be submitted to
anyone on the staff.

milk as well as cookies, brownies
and sweet rolls. Students appre-ciated
that the Country Store ac-cepted
food and cards during meal
times.
It was created to "bridge the
gap" during construction of the
new coffeehouse, Erickson said.
The food service and administra-tion
decided it had served its pur-pose
and discontinued it this year.
If food service would have kept
the store, they would have redone,
maybe relocated it, said Paul
Drake, director of auxiliary enter-prises.
"It wasn't paying for
tself," said Drake. "It was really
)usy for 1-11/2 hours a day."
"It took up too much space for
the amount of time it was used,"
added Erickson. And traffic vol-ume
increased through the Lemon
Lounge.
An on-campus commisary
where students could buy grocer-ies,
possible with food cards, is
being considered. SpaCe for such a
venture presents the biggest pro-blem.
Erickson said if those kind
of problems can be solved there
will be a commissary.

Spickelmier outlines chapel concerns
The Clarion recently interview-ed
Campus Pastor Jim Spickel-mier
concerning reports that his
office was considering a move for
mandatory chapel. We also talked
to Spickelmier concerning his
roles as Bethel's pastor, as well as
Bethel's physical and spiritual
growth.
The 38-year-old Spickelmier
graduated from Bethel College in
1963 and spent two years in the
Peace Corps in east Africa before
attending seminary. After a five-year
pastorate in Kensington,
Conn., he came to Bethel as cam-pus
pastor in 1975. He is now in
his fifth year at Bethel.
Clarion: Would you like to com-ment
on the recent concern with
chapel attendance?
Spickelmier: Yes, our attendance
has been running below last year's
attendance, not just in percentage
figures, but in actual numbers.
We are below last year's figures,
even though the student body is
larger. And that's a real concern
to us.
I feel Bethel is unique among
Christian colleges in the kind of
chapel program it runs.
Everybody I talked to, when he
hears that we don't take atten-dance
but we have the kind of
numbers we have had, is just flab-bergasted.
And I frankly want to
keep that—I think it's something
not just faculty and administra-tion
want to keep, but that stu-dents
want to keep.
So I do get concerned when I
see not just what would be a nor-mal
kind of drop, but when I see a
consistent drop.
Clarion: Is mandatory chapel a
possibility to correct that? Is it be-ing
considered?
Spickelmier: No. I noticed that
the beef board suggested that we
might be to mandatory chapel. I
very carefully didn't do that.
I don't know what alternatives
might be considered if we can't
make our present policy work. I
would guess the two obvious
alternatives are in existence at
other colleges—there are schools
that don't have a mandatory
chapel but essentially don't have
chapel because it really doesn't get
enough people to affect the the
life of their community.
I'm not sure what would hap-pen
if we lost the tradition that we
have. I do think that one of the
things we have to be aware of in
our community, though, is that
you can't destroy our present
tradition and not have it replaced
with something else.
We keep our present tradition
by high attendance or something
else will result. I'm sure—just lo-gically.
Clarion: Is chapel attendance now
comparable to last year's percen-tage?
Spickelmier: We are almost back
up in terms of raw numbers where
we were last year. But percentage-wisethat
still would be worse, be-cause
of the larger student body.
Clarion: Do you think mandatory
chapel would ever work now that
students have the freedom to
choose?
Spickelmier: I don't like manda-tory
chapel policies. I think, ob-viously
we could put on controls
so that they do work in terms of
getting bodies there. There are all
sorts of ways to coerce people to
be in a place at a time, but the
drawback in mandatory chapels,
as I see it, is that you can get the
people in there but you can't get
them in the right frame of mind.
So I guess, from my standpoint,
I will avoid mandatory chapel at
all costs because I think that it
creates an atmosphere that is not
conducive to worship.
Clarion: About your job, is it gra-tifying
to you?
Spickelmier: Best job in the
school. I have all of the good
things and none of the hassles.
People in the administrative of-fices
other than mine, like the
dean's office, carry a weight of
adminstrative detail. I deal with
significant things, have freedom
and really enjoy it.
Clarion: Do you ever feel any ten-sion
as a liason between admini-stration,
faculty and students?
Spickelmier: I guess I don't feel I
do that job alone, that there are
lots of people in the community
doing it. And there are tensions in
this community between various
positions, administration, faculty,
students and just between indivi-duals.
I think that's a constant
part of this community.
I think that all of us as Chris-tians
are called to be reconcilers.
It's a fun thing, as far as I'm con-cerned,
to help hold people toge-ther
in one body.
Clarion: Another one of your
roles is, that if something's going
wrong and needs correcting, and
if someone has to reprimand the
students, you get that job. How
do Sou view that role?
Spickelmier: I don't know that
I'm the only one that does that,
and I don't do any official disci-pline—
Nettleton's office gets
that. I guess because I'm in a pro-minent
role in terms of being able
to speak to the student body, I
pick up some of that occassion-ally.
The president used to do that
and, as a result, I think his own
image among the student body
was hurt. One of the things we
talked about when I first came
was some way to•protect him from
that.
I'm glad to do it because, so far
at least, I think I've been able to
do it without breaking the trust of
the students.
I think in any community
you've got to occasionally ask the
community to examine its own
life, and I think I know how to do
that in such way that it's not
spanking. I don't like to spank or
scold; I want to call people to be
what we really all want to be.
Clarion: Uas Bethel's recent
growth affected the nature of cha-pel
services?
Spickelmier: I think that as we
grow it becomes harder and hard-er
for us to keep some kind of cen-tral
community expression—small
colleges can do it, it's natural. The
larger a college gets, the more the
tendency to break down into sub-units.
I think that's happened with
our disciplines, for example. I
think that social sciences are more
isolated from the humanities, and
from sciences, than they used to
be, just because they've gotten lar-ger
and they kind of spin off into
their own separate units.
So I do think that as we grow
it's harder and harder for us to all
come together in common, but it's
also more important.
So I see chapel becoming harder
to do, in some ways, but more im-portant
to do, because it's really
the thing that keeps a somewhat
small college united. It keeps it
from splintering off entirely into
separate groups.
Clarion: Has the growth affected
the general level of spiritual ma-turity?
There seems to be a wider
range of students here now.
Spickelmier: I think the wider
range comes from, not the
growth, but from patterns in our
churches. I think our churches are
more diverse and heterogeneous
than they were a few years ago.
But growth does make a differ-ence:
if you've got 10 per cent of
the student body disagreeing with
what you're doing, when I went to
school that was 60 students, now
it is 200 students and that makes a
big difference.
Clarion: In your counseling ex-perience,
what do you see as the
most common problem among
Bethel students?
Spickelmier: There are lots of
them. I guess the ones I'm most
concerned about are the coun-seling
problems that no one pays
any attention to. I am worried
about some of these other areas,
students who flagrantly disobey
our lifestyle, for example, obvious
ly they're in trouble. But I see a lot
of people, who we don't know are
in trouble until it's really
bad—until they're on their way
home.
They're the kids who study
alone, who don't have any
friends, who are quiet, and walk
around here and don't call atten-tion
to themselves, but are being
very isolated. That's a concern of
mine. I want to work with them at
Bethel before they become so
isolated that the only solution for
them is to leave.
Clarion: What can the main-stream
Bethel student do to help?
Spickelmier: I think that if we're
the people we're supposed to be—
sensitive, concerned Christian
people—that we will have our eyes
out not just for the people we en-joy
being with, but the ones that
need help.
read two books by Williams
without something else in bet-ween,"
Greenlee explained.
Greenlee's other activities in-clude
running, skipping rope,
grouse hunting and, he added "a
little weightlifting."
One reason he likes Minnesota
is the clean air. "It's so much
nicer than Pasadena, there I had
to run early in the morning before
the smog settled in," Greenlee
said.
Greenlee comes from upper
Michigan, but did all his graduate
work at the Californial Institute
of Technology. He said he was
"more than glad" to be back
north again.
Senate action
KABY allowed to
raise own funds,
tuition bill fails
Last Tuesday the student senate
dispatched with its business in fast
order, taking action on only two
bills. Next week's meeting prom-ises
to provide more action as well
as more discussion.
The senate changed a bill con-cerning
KABY self funding from
new business to old business to fa-cilitate
more immediate action.
The bill allowing KABY to raise
funds for its use, with stipulation
that no events compete with cam-pus
coordinator's activities, pass-ed
nearly unanimously.
The only other action taken was
to defeat a bill recommending a
change in tuition rates for part-time
students. Passage of the bill
would have meant recommending
that per-course tuition be de-creased
to $325. It failed 14-3,
with two abstentions.
A highlight of next week's ses-sion
could be the bill allocating
$500 for publication of the birth-day
and student directories. Some
senators feel they are being forced
to give rubber stamp approval to
the expense.
The money has already been
spent on the books, but the pro-jects
have never been formally ap-proved
by the senate.
Another highlight could be a
bill authorizing research into the
feasibility of implementing a na-tionally-
based food service in
place of Bethel's food service. The
special projects committee would
research the cost and efficiency of
the SAGA corporation.

Slobs wallow in filth,
collect "gross" stories
A roommate stands over me holding a yellow sponge threateningly.
"It's your Christian responsibility to clean that bathroom."
I am indignant. I distinctly remember giving it a good scrubbing less
than a semester ago.
She badgers me persistently, her face a faint green.
"It's disgusting in there!"
"Really?" I peer at her, disinterested. "I didn't notice."
Her voice escalates hysterically. "There's a cactus growing in the
medicine cabinet !"
"I know that," I return irritably. "I planted it."
"What about the dandelions? And the water lily by the sink?"
Once again, hang-dog looks and threats of of indescribeable torture
coerce me into performing that most hated of all rituals, the bi-yearly
apartment cleaning. Lysol fumes waft soothingly through the apart-ment.
For a short, utopic period we delude ourselves into believing
we're not part of the overwhelming number who are transformed into
blatant slobhood the instant their names are signed to campus housing
forms.
Chances are, you are a closet slob. College does that to even fas-tidious
types. Ex-high schoolers who, only a few short months ago,
never dreamed of using a kleenex twice and who always felt queasy
opening envelopes someone else had licked suddenly have no qualms
about drinking from mugs that haven't had contact with dish soap since
1976.
There's something mystical about sloppiness. There's prestige involv-ed
in being able to say jovially, "See that apple core? I bet it's been
there three weeks." The male slob, especially, enjoys his reputation for
filthiness. It has become socially acceptable for him to invite his date
over for an evening of revolting stories about what is growing in the
bathroom or crawling out of the garbage disposal. His female listener,
though also a member of the slob sect, squeals occasionally and ex-claims
with feeling, "Oh, gross!," "You're kidding!," and "I'm going
to be sick."
Even if you won't admit that you are a slob, you most certainly will
say your roommate is. Everyone's roommate is filthy. Thank goodness.
If this weren't so, we'd have no one on which to blame the deplorable
state of the townhouse living room when our parent's oldest friends
"drop by" unexpectedly: "Sorry about the mess. My roommate's been
cramming for a mid-term and had to let the place go for a while."
The attraction to dirtiness affects evert the off-campus dwellers.
Wherever apartment residents congregate, conversation inevitably drifts
to "How dirty is your apartment?" or "My roommates are lazier than
yours." Dialogues are intense, highly competitive, and painfully ex-plicit.
Wallet size, color snapshots are considered useful pieces of
evidence in these serious debates.
Everyone's insects are bigger, uglier, and more aggressive. My next
door neighbor's spiders leaped from the ceiling onto vulnerable human
flesh. My quick-thinking roommate squelched his story's impressiveness
by countering. that our spiders were raising legionous litters and had
already conquered two bedrooms, the utility closet, and the vegetable
bin in the refrigerator.
Despite the potential of kitchen and bedroom vulgarity, the bathroom
remains the favorite setting for everyone's gross stories. No bathroom
tale is unbelievable.
Last year an unidentifiable algae-like organism won a year-long battle
with our ceramic tile after building an immunity to Mr. Clean and par-ing
knives. The lot of us took brief, nervous showers crouched—fully
clOthed—between the wall and the infected shower curtain. We pulled
sterilized plastic bags over our feet and hopped across the gritty floor.
For an entire school year we dressed, dripping, in the hallway, and
brushed our teeth in the neighbor's bathroom.
This is nothing compared with common tales of ferocious cock-roaches,
scattered toenail clippings, tottering piles of scorched pots,
schools of silverfish, and rotting chicken skins.
Despite the prevalence of these atrocities, however, we can state
honestly that our aversions to "cleaning up" have worked wonders for
our academic standings. Conscience-free we gather up mountainous
loads of text books and head for another intensive library study session.
Anything to avoid the vacuum cleaner.

Oak Room offers pleasant break
by Susan Peterson .
Are you looking for a change of
pace? No energy to cook? No sto-mach
for the cafeteria? Take a
break and have dinner at the Oak
Room, Bethel's student-run res-taurant.
By day, it may be "the Coffee
Shop," but from 4:30 to 6:30
every Thursday evening, a re-markable
transformation takes
place. The lights are dimmed, can-dles
lit, tablecloths put on, sil-verware•
set and The Oak Room is
open for business. The atmos-phere
is very relaxed with enter-tainment
often provided by Bethel
students.
Senior Rick Knopf is student
manager and is reponsible for
many of the changes which have
taken place since last year.
Besides moving from the "Roy-al
Oak Room" to the coffee shop,
much of the formality is gone.
Waiters and waitresses dress nicely
but no uniforms are used. "The
pretentious atmosphere of last
year's Royal Oak Room just
doesn't work in the coffee shop
setting," Knopf said.
Knopf wants The Oak Room to
be a place where "students can
come in, sit down, not feel rushed
and get a good meal."
A new menu is the best reason
to dine in The Oak Room. Prices
are very reasonable, portions are
large and the service is good and
fast.
The salad bar alone is • worth
coming for. The variety of fruits,
meats and cheese along with re-lishes
and greens make it a full
meal in itself. A warm loaf of
homemade bread complements
every dinner.
The dessert bar, a new addition
this year, is an excellent finish to a
delicious meal. The ice cream (6
flavors) and the toppings are pro-vided,
but you create the master-piece.
A large staff of students are in-volved
in preparing the food,
washing dishes, and waiting on
tables. As a subsidiary of the food
service, The Oak Room pays for
itself. Any profits are channeled
back into the restaurant.
Reservations are taken earlier in
the food card office, and on
Thursday evening it's first come/
first serve as space is available.
The Oak Room is a quality al-ternative
to the cafeteria which
should be welcomed heartily and
frequented often by students.
"FERP" weekend is underway!
"FERP" stands for "Female Eco-nomic
Recovery Program!" So,
Guys, it's your turn to make a real
effort to take a girl out!
Friday evening, we'll all go roll-erskating
after the hockey game
and skate from midnight until 2
a.m. The cost will be $1.50. Buses
will leave at the regular time from
the same places.
Saturday evening will bring the
first big concert of year to be on
campus. Kathie Lee Johnson, the
lovely, exuberant, and multi-talented
singer TV star from
"Name That -Tune," who has
worked with Jimmy Stewart and
Rich Little, will be performing af-ter
the lead-on performer, Greg
Shideler.
Greg is a hilarious, incredible
sound impressionist who has
worked with such famed people as.
Bob Hope, Paul Lynde, Johnny
Carson, Mike Douglas, Phyllis
Diller, and many more. Both ar-tists
are excellent, outstanding
performers, and they will put on a
show you won't forget.
Tickets are only $3.00 per per-son
if you buy them in advance.
Tickets will be $3.50 at the door.
It will be a great concert! Don't
miss it!
Keep in mind that next Thurs-day
evening, Nov. 15, we will
be sponsoring a benefit concert to
be held at Bethel's Old Campus
gym as 7:30 p.m.
Performing from 7:30-8:15
p.m. will be "Nehemiah." From
8:30-9:30 a.m., the group "Son-fire,"
will perform for the simple
reason of raising money for
KABY transmitters. A freewill of-fering
will be taken, and albums
will be given away. The emcee for
the evening will be the well-known
staff member at WCCO-FM,
Steve Johnson.
We hope that you had a real
special Nik Dag weekend. We
enjoyed putting it together for
you! We hope and pray that this
weekend will include good times,
along with some spare time in
which you can rest up so that you
have a really great week next
week!

Cooper plays as triple-teamed target
by Greg Kuntz
One of the assets any football
team can have is someone who can
catch, run, and score with the
football, and give a little more.
Among the many good receivers
the Royals have this season is Ken
Cooper, who in his first season in
a Royals uniform leads his club in
the pass receiving role.
Cooper, (#83), is a lanky 6'2",
180 lb. sophomore from the nor-thwest
Chicago suburb of Rolling
Meadows. To date, Cooper has
compiled 37 receptions for 674
yards and five T.D.'s, leading the
conference in receiving since the
second week of the season.
His best single game perfor-mance
was at St. John's, where he
grabbed four passes for 151 yards
and scored three T.D.'s. One pass
play of 89 yards set a new team re-cord.
He's been a favorite target
of Royal quarterback Jim Ander-strom.
Since the St. John's game,
Cooper has been often double,
even triple teamed, by opponents.
"Other teams are more conscious
of him," said wide receiver coach
Mark Rappinchuk.
Besides playing junior league
football for three years, and high
school ball for four years, Cooper
assisted his former high school
coach, Bruce Bazsali, last summer
coaching wide receivers.
"I discovered I enjoyed football
enough to concentrate on it," he
said.
Cooper is a physical education
(non-teaching) major, with busi-ness
and psychology minors. He

The Royal's volleyball team
missed the state playoffs Saturday
by three points.
Sixteen teams competed in Divi-sion
Three. They were split into
groups of four with each team
playing the other three. Then the
top two teams in each group
entered the action again on Satur-day
to determine the champion.
"I was satisfied with their play
overall because they were more
unified and consistent," said Nan-cy
Dubert, manager. Those teams
in Bethel's group were the College
of St. Catherine, U of M Morris
and Concordia of St. Paul.
The Royals were up against the
program at Bethel, by helping to
recruit and by working with other
wide receivers.
He attended Western Illinois
University for one year before
coming to Bethel, but didn't play
there.
"I didn't feel college football
was in God's plan for my life at
that time so I concentrated on
school," he said.
Cooper visited Bethel in the spr-ing
and was very impressed. Even
though he was ineligible to play
his first year at Bethel, he attend-ed
pre-season camp and worked
out with the team all year.
"I got hungry for the 1979 sea-son,"
he said.
The Royals have changed to the
"I" formation from the former
veer and option offense which had
labeled the Royals as a running
team. They have passed more this
year to balance with their running
game, to face the tougher MIAC
conference with more flexibility.
This is the Royals' second sea-son
in straight MIAC competi-tion.
U of M Morris in the first match.
The team lost 12-15 and 8-15.
"We either did really well or had
streaks of problems. We were
slow on free-ball coverage so Mor-ris'
slower balls made it hard,"
said Coach Karyl Frye. "We were
prepared but didn't carry through
as well as we had hoped," she ad-ded.
"Sheryl Meyer, Debbie Olmath
and JoAnne Griffin really gave
100 per cent in that match," she
added.
"The second match was against
St. Kate's who eventually took
first in the state tournament.
Bethel lost 12-15 and 6-15. Tami
Miller did well in her passing,
Griffin did a good job of spiking
You don't come into the MIAC
after competing in the Tri-State
conference and expect big things
right away," Cooper said.
Cooper compared his personal
goals to the team goals by saying
he would like to have a winning
season and be in the top three
teams in the standings by his
senior year.
He said, "This is realistic, with
good recruiting."
He would like to continue being
the leading receiver in the con-ference,
the state, and eventually
among the leaders in the nation.
"Without the pass blocking by
the offensive line, we wouldn't
have the success we do at
passing," he said.
Cooper likes to set up defenders
for the long play by catching short
ones first on the curl and go pat-tern.
"No matter what you do as an
individual, you need the other
players," Cooper said. "And my
parents have been encouraging me
and are behind me 100 per cent."
Head coach Chub Reynolds
said, "He hustles all the time. I
saw it in him last year when he
worked out with us."
"Chub goes out of his way to
help the players. He's sensitive to
their needs," said Cooper.
Cooper attributes his success to
the Lord. "I wouldn't be able to
accomplish the things I have with-out
the talents and abilities the
Lord has given me. So I want to
praise him whether the results are
good or bad. I look forward to
two more years at Bethel."
and Lori Olsen did well with
spikes and digs," said Frye.
"Olmath and Denise Nygren
played well overall too," she con-tinued-.
"The main problem was
blocking. We didn't hit as well as
we could have."
Coach Frye was pleased with
the victory over Concordia
because of a loss to them earlier in
the season. Frye noted Merry
Olmstead, Sonya Olsen, Joy
Sorenson and Gracia Dahlgren' as
playing especially well.
Griffin, ranked fourteenth, was
two places away from being an all-star
on the list of division players.
According to Frye, she played well
in all three matches with her spik-ing.

Three touchdowns in the first
eight minutes of play allowed St.
Olaf to take a commanding lead
and the Oles went on to defeat
Bethel 34-7 in MIAC football ac-tion
last Saturday.
The Royals (2-7) dropped their
sixth in a row as St. Olaf amassed
510 total yards, 400 of those on
the ground. St. Olaf now stands at
5-2 and still with a chance for a tie
for the title:
Bethel's only TD came in the
fourth quarter on a 71-yard pass
play from Lonnie Holmgren to
wide receiver Frank Sanza. But at
that point St. Olaf had finished its
scoring. Bethel immediately tried
an onside kick but the Oles re-covered.
On the first series of play St.
Olaf took the lead for good, driv-ing
78 yards in 9 plays with Paul
Estenson doing most the running.
From the Bethel 25, Estenson
found a hole up the middle and
rambled for the TD. After a Royal
fumble gave the Oles the ball at
the Bethel 41, they scored again. -
Estenson set up the TD with a
29-yard run before scoring from
the 4.
Again the Royalscoughed up the
ball, this time at their own 16.
Five plays later Estenson again did
the damage, plunging over from
the one. The score stood at 21-0
and Bethel was in a hole from
which they never got out.
St. Olaf added a TD in the sec-ond
quarter and again in the
fourth quarter (right before Bethel
scored).
On the day, Estenson rushed
for 173 yards on 23 carries. Holm-gren,
replacing Jim Anderstrom,
also had a good day, throwing for
114 yards.
A number of Bethel players still
rank among the MIAC leaders.
Going into the game, Rich Graves
was first in kickoff returns while
Ken Cooper ranks first in pass
receiving. Anderstrom was listed
third in passing and total offense,
Jeff Wilson was fourth in pun-ting,
and Randy Fredin was fifth
in interceptions.

Hockey team looks to tough season
by Ken Wanovich
The Bethel hockey team will
start this season as a full-fledged
member of the Minnesota Inter-collegiate
Athletic Conference for
the first time.
"The MIAC is the toughest
small-college hockey conference
in the country," said Bethel
Coach Dave Harris. "The top
teams in the MIAC could win
their share of games in the Wes-tern
Collegiate Hockey Associa-tion.
It is a very competitive con-ference."
Bethel had a hockey club on
and off since the early 60's. They
played other college club teams.
Last year, hockey was made into a
varsity sport but did not have a
complete MIAC schedule. Many
teams had previous commitments
to non-conference teams and
could not schedule a game with
Bethel. This year the team plays a
complete MIAC schedule with 27
games.
Coach Harris played collegiate
hockey at Augsburg, and helped
start its program in 1954. He grad-uated
from Augsburg in 1957, and
has been playing in amateur
leagues and coaching junior
leagues for 15 years.
"Jim Bragg and I went to
school together," said Harris.
"Three years ago Bethel asked me
to come and help build hockey in-to
a varsity program." Harris is
vice president of Chroma-Glo, a
company that designs and man-ufactures
product identification.
Although his coaching requires
500 hours for the season, Harris
doesn't view it as a job. "I'm a
businessman; I've been able to
find extra time, and I enjoy doing
it," said Harris.
Last year's team compiled a

The Bethel soccer season ended
abruptly last Saturday as St.
John's defeated the Royals 3-1 in
the first round of the playoffs.
The Royals finished the year
5-8-1 (5-6-1 in conference) and en-tered
the playoffs for the first time
in the three years Bethel has been
in the MIAC.
St. John's, 9-0-3 in MIAC play,
record of 5 wins and 20 losses.
"It was obvious to those who
followed Bethel hockey last year
that the team made substantial im-provement
as the season progress-ed,"
said Harris. "We lost to St.
Olaf 12-0 the first game and came
back to beat them 6-5 the second
game. We lost to St. Mary's 12-3
the first game and came back to
beat them the second game 7-3."
"There was a world of dif-ference
in our caliber and ability
to play in the second half of our
season," said Harris. "Part of
our improvement was due to the
addition of four transfer students
who did not become eligible until
the end of the first semester. The
eligibility rule states that you must
be a full-time student in residence
16 weeks to participate in sports.
We also improved through the
experience gained from playing
together."
"There is no question in my
mind we are going to be a better
team this year," said Harris. "We
have a nucleus of men coming
back whom we will be counting
on.
"Tom Correll, all-conference
forward, led the conference last
year in scoring with 33 points," he
said. "Dave Johnson, all-confer-ence
honorable mention center,
scored 23 points last year. Other
returning forwards include Mike
Jackson, Steve Kettelkamp,
Chuck Engberg, Tomm Berquist
and Scott Feltman."
"Along with last year's transfer
students Randy Fiks, Alan Erick-son,
and freshman Kevin Hadlich,
the Royals should have a strong
offensive attack," said Harris.
"We have only one returning let-terman
on defense, Scott
Johnson. Defenseman Gary Shi-browski,
a transfer student from
jumped to a 2-0 lead in the first
half. A defensive error allowed a
Johnnie to come in on goal alone.
As goalie Jeff Beckman came out
to meet him, the Johnnie shot,
hitting the crossbar. Another St.
John's player knocked in the re-bound
for the goal.
A few minutes later, the John-nies
scored again, this time on a
well-placed shot fr om close range.
UMD, will be eligible after the
first semester.
"The three top teams in the
MIAC ought to be Augsburg,
Concordia and Gustavus, but not
necessarily in that order," said
Harris. "These schools put a
strong emphasis on hockey.
"The success of our season this
year will be determined in part by
how successful we are in develop-ing
a strong defense and consis-tent
goal tending."
Correll said, "This year I think
Bethel will definitely be a conten-der
for the playoffs. Through the
recruiting efforts of our coaches,
we've gained a lot more depth. We
will be more intimidating physi-cally,
and in our playing ability.
The best hockey in the country is
found in Minnesota, and soon Be-thel
will be known for its hockey
program."
Bethel does not budget any
But the second half was a dif-ferent
story. Bethel took the play
to St. John's, finally breaking the
shutout midway through the half.
Neil Kaiser fed Mark Johnson,
who was sprinting between two
defenders. As the goalie came out,
Johnson slid the ball by him.
Beckman then made the play of
the game to keep the Royals in the
game. On a blast from point-money
for the hockey team. The
team raises its own money.
"This year's budget is about
$16,000," said Harris. "We have
been raising money by selling sea-son
tickets. There is also a booster
group for hockey consisting of
students, alumni and others who
support hockey. Players also pay
$25 each which goes into an equip-ment
fund. We were able to secure
uniforms the first year very rea-sonably
from a World Hockey
Association team that
disbanded."
"Players furnish their own
equipment, including sticks," said
Harris. "We are trying to set up a
stick program this year where
players can buy sticks at a reduced
cost. Some guys went through
three dozen sticks last year at
seven dollars apiece. That is over
$200 in sticks alone to play
hockey."

The results of the regional
cross-country meet, held last
weekend at Iowa State University,
are an indication of the strength
of the MIAC teams against which
Bethel has competed throughout
the year.
Division 3 MIAC schools took
five out of the top eight team posi-tions
out of sixteen teams from
around the seven-state region. St.
Olaf was narrowly edged out of
first place by Central College of
Iowa, and St. Thomas finished
third. Carleton, Concordia-blank,
Beckman dove to his right,,
stretching full-length, snatched
the ball out of midair, and pinned
it to the ground.
But St. John's iced it away in
the closing minutes with a shot
from a tight angle.
For the season, the leading
scorer was Jon Fredrickson with
sevengoals. Johnson added five
goals while Doug Hage had four.
This year, all Home games are at
8 p.m. at Columbia Arena, which
is about 15 minutes from Bethel
on north University Avenue. "It is
one of the nicest facilities in the
metropolitan area," said Harris.
Free bus transportation is pro-vided
to and from home games.
Buses leave at 7:30 p.m. from the
east gymnasium doors, and return
immediately after the game.
"The team plays and performs
better if there is somebody in the
audience cheering for them," said
Harris.
Season tickets are $10, a 20 per
cent savings on gate prices, and
can be ordered from hockey
players, or the athletic office.
Students can complete an order
form and their accounts are billed
for the $10. Season tickets will be
delivered to the P.O.s by
November 15, 1979.
"These finishes speak well of
the kind of competition we run
against during the season," said
Coach Shirley Dawson. "And the
times of our division (small pri-vate
schools) are similar to the
times of the division two state
schools. There is no drop-off of
quality in our division."
Wendy Norberg led the Bethel
harriers by finishing 27th of 69
runners at 19:59. The winning
mark was set by Beth Stronge of
St. Olaf at 18:03.
"Wendy ran one of her better
races ever," said Dawson, "and
this is a very difficult course with
close to a mile-and-a-half of hills."
Ellie Abbott placed 48th at
21:23, and Brenda Harris finished
55th with a time of 22:13.
"This is the second time we've
competed in this meet, and there
was a great improvement in atti-tude
and mental preparation, as
compared to last year," said Daw-son.
The Royals final competition of
the season is the state meet tomor-row
at 2 p.m. on the St. Olaf
course.
